Microsoft's Slight of Hand

| Debugging Microsoft errors has led me to a number of items which

| problems rather than actually dealing with the problems themselves.

| This past week, Windows Vista was made available for pre-order on
| Amazon.com. While Microsoft has been saying that they're producing a "high
| quality" product, the lessons provided by Internet Information Server
| should make one pause: how much of what Vista contains is more of this
| masking rather than actually dealing with problems in the software? How
| often is the phrase "quick wins" being thrown at the Vista development
| team? Without visibility on this, it is impossible to feel comfortable
| with the arrival of this new Windows, which is good, because this can
| only help Linux.
